Hell still be returned for a second term in November no matter what they throw at him ????

Maybe so, though given his track record prior to becoming president that is now being manifested nearly every day by him really doesn't look good for future US  - you really wish for a megalomaniac with strong authoritarian tendencies to be President - God help the USA, 'cause trump won't.

Straight from the people's socialist playbook! Only in socialist people's republics the witnesses get eliminated before they can speak out.

I know you’ve got a thing about broadcasting your lack of understanding regarding socialism but please do at least try to keep your anti socialism rants to threads where they might at least have a tiny iota of relevance.

So you're saying that the Senate refusal to hear witnesses in the Trump impeachment trial is straight out of the people's socialist playbook?

Being given immunity if you co operate with the investigation is within the law .

The guy's simply desperate and willing to do everything and anything to persuade the world and the U.S. that Russia didn't help win him the presidential election...

 

Because it's been clearly documented that Russia TRIED to accomplish that end, and if their efforts made a difference which they probably did, that would mean that Trump didn't win on his own, and his HUGELY inflated ego could never accept that.

Intriguing that JA’s lawyer brought this pardon up as the 18 charges by US DOJ were about him leaking classified military information and nothing on the email leak. Either Trump’s team has overreacted or JA has something damaging to Trump and hedging a quid pro quo. His extradition date will be known very soon.

The pardon would come on the condition that Assange complied with the United States by saying that the Russians were not involved in the email leak that damaged Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016, Rohrabacher's statement said.

 

A White House spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, denied the assertion.

That is quite important .

The Whitehouse denies this story and says this story isnt true

I will choose the above as the main reason.... but wouldn't roll out a conspiracy theory of BJ trying to make a deal with JA to avoid extradition and get dirt on Trump

It is if it’s within a recorded plea bargain negotiated with prosecutors under the DoJ  and/or State Prosecutors.

 

It is not within the law to offer a Pardon for corrupt purposes and Pardons are not part of the plea bargain process.

[spidermike007]

Apropo to this post, Trump just announced Ambassador Grunell as the new National Security Advisor. This is part of what makes Trump such a danger to the nation. He deliberately chose personal loyalty over competence and experience. Even Republicans are saying this job is way over his head. Another example of the bottom of the barrel selections of this incompetent President. 

 

Let's go Little Mike. You really need to beat and humiliate this guy. I suggest better debate prep!

In this story, what brings you to the belief  that Assange is telling the truth and the Whitehouse isnt ?

  What evidence made you decide ?

According to other news sources it never happened. Just another lawyer lying to help his client.

Well, there's evidence of past performance. We know Trump lies all the time. Just recently he admitted sending Giuliani to the Ukraine after denying it during the impeachment hearings and Senate trial. Whatever one may think of Assange, he has a far better track record when it comes to telling the truth.

POTUS doing his ‘barely know him’ lies again. Dana Rohrabacher was hired by Trump together with Micheal Flynn to be his foreign policy advisers in 2017.

Thats not as logical way to come to a conclusion .

Like. if Assange said the World was flat and Trump said that it was round , Assange would be telling the truth and the World is flat ?
